Some people sound upset about the news, they just need to relax and put a little ass on it.

ANOTHER WWE HALL OF FAME SPOILER by Mike Johnson @ 11:27 PM on 2/9/2015 {Spoiler}WWE is planning to induct former AWA World champion Larry Zbyszko into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame, PWInsider.com has learned. Zbyszko originally trained under Bruno Sammartino and appeared as his protege, before famously turning heel on Sammartino, leading to a feud that culminated with a steel cage bout at Shea Stadium in New York City.
In the years that followed, Zbyszko had runs in the AWA, the NWA and WCW, eventually shifting over to an announcer utilizing his "Living Legend" moniker.
Zbyszko released an autobiography in 2008, has appeared at WWE Wrestlemania AXXESS events in recent years and is still a regular at all the NXT tapings in Orlando, Florida.

That was one of my favorite feuds as a kid. I had cousins at Shea. I was shocked when I found out Zybysko's firs name wasn't Thatsonuvabeetch.

Larry is definitely 100 percent more then worthy and solid but his biggest national work was a WCW midcarder in the early-mid 90's.

Just put all of Too Cool. They all better dance at least.
Yeah. This is a family thing. His kids will likely have a big match and his nephew will be champ.
Grab up some more Samoan dudes.

Was anyone else disappointed that the Rikishi announcement video didn't feature a montage of superstars saying "I did it for The Rock?"

Koko B Ware must be pleased about Rikishi's induction. He's no longer the blank space in "if ________ can get in HOF, anybody can"

I don't have a problem with him going in. I just wonder if he'll show up. He did miss his own kid's wedding because he was booked elsewhere.

I'm not thrilled with Rikishi (though if they're aknowlaging his Headshrinker run, I'm a tad more understanding) As for the other induction: {Spoiler}Zbyszko makes sense, as his feud with Bruno was pretty high profile. He also held gold in the AWA and WCW. No issue with him going in

This years HOF class does feel a bit meh
Macho Man obviously is awesome and should have been done years ago.
Schwarzenegger .. Meh
Rikishi, Was a big mark for the guy back in the day but does feel like his queue jumped a bit here.
The last 2 Hall of Fame classes were really great, this one isn't quite cutting it yet.

With Rikishi going in, it kinda makes guys on the "fringe" shoe ins for the future. More specifically Christian as a singles star, and Mark Henry. Hell call me crazy, but Santino Marella is now a serious HOF candidate.

I'd say Rikishi belongs in. Red hot act during the company's most successful period, very long and storied career, lot of classic moments, success in multiple gimmicks, I'd say he's fine. With Rikishi going in, it kinda makes guys on the "fringe" shoe ins for the future. More specifically Christian as a singles star, and Mark Henry. Hell call me crazy, but Santino Marella is now a serious HOF candidate. I'd have called Christian and Mark Henry as sure-things even then. And honestly I'd argue Santino deserves it. For a comedy act he's had an insanely successful career and had possibly more longevity than anyone of the sort in history if you don't count the billion incarnations of Doink.

I still think Rikishi's a better candidate than Koko was... it's waaay too early for Rikishi, but he's much more notable than Koko.
